UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JOHN lt HARRINGTON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO GEORGE ELIOT HARRINGTON, OF SAME PLAGE.

IMPROVEMENT IN CARPET-LININGS.

Specification forming part of-Letters Patent No. 107,682, dated September 27, 1870.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN R. HARRINGTON, of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, have in vented, made, and applied to use certain Improvements in the Manufacture of Carpet-Linin g g and Ildo declare that the following is afull, clear, and correct description of my improvements, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in whiehl Figure 1 is a front view of my improved carpet-linin g. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.

In the drawingslike parts of the invention are pointed out by the same letters of reference.

The nature of my invention consists in certain improvements, as more fully hereinafter set forth, in the manufacture of carpet-lining, the object being to produce a superior article of carpet-linin g at a low cost.

To enable those skilled in the arts to make and use my invention, I will describe its construction.

A shows the envelope or outer covering of my improved carpetlining, and B are the thicknesses of' paper, or like substance, constituting the interior of the` same.

The exterior sheets or envelope are generally made of a liner and better quality of paper or like substance than the interior, which may be made of coarse and heavy paper or like substance.

In order that the carpet-lining, when placed beneath the carpet, may not become separated or disarranged, I bind the edges of the outer sheets together, employing for this purpose a woven fabric, which is cemented to or glued to the edges of the outer sheets by glue, inucilage, or any adhesive substance, forming, when united to the same, as it were, the sides of a bag, composed of the outer sheets and the woven fabric. This binding I designate as C upon the drawings.

Such being the construction, the lining is placed beneath thel carpet and between the door and the same, serving to protect the carpet from the wear which attends the use of the same, and at the same time serving to collect, and in a great measure retain, the particles of dust and dirt which otherwise would lodge in the carpet and aid in destroying the same. In A fact, it will be found to answer all the purposes to which the ordinary article of carpet-lining is usually applicable.

The low cost of manufacture, coupled with the durability of the article produced, render it particularly desirable.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A carpet-lining formed of the envelope A, the edges of which are connected by a woven fabric, C, glued or cemented thereto, and the interior sheets or thicknesses of paper or like material, B,when the same shall be constructed as herein described.
